The great country treated and respected only by his descendants of Confucius. His thoughts on benevolent politics were Lu Bu playing Diao Chan, and he showed all the acting to fools. Mencius was not a fool, and naturally understood that these monarchs did not really admire his ideas, so he was defeated.

Go, those small countries agree with his ideas, but these small countries agree with them in vain. They cannot guarantee themselves and have the ability to implement his ideas. Before they succeed, Mencius returned to China unwillingly. What he saw in this circle

What he heard made him realize the principle that if he is successful, he will help the world, and if he is poor, he will be able to keep himself alone. Since he cannot change the world, he will try to change himself and make himself more perfect, so as to influence more people subtly...

So, Mencius realized what kind of righteousness is!

The word "Haoran Qi" is generally used to describe a kind of upright and grand spirit. This was created by Mencius' hard work based on his own experience. It has had a profound impact on the ideological and moral traditions of the Chinese nation over the past 2,000 years.

According to the records of "Mencius Gongsun Chou" in the world, once, Mencius's disciple Gongsun Chou asked Mencius, saying, "Master, what are your strengths?" Mencius said, "I am good at cultivating my noble spirit. Gongsun Chou asked again.

, What is the qi of greatness? Mencius said: "It is difficult to describe it clearly. If you say it roughly, first of all, it is filled with heaven and earth, a very large and strong qi. Secondly, this qi is made of justice and morality.

It is formed over time, on the contrary, if justice and morality are not stored in it, it will fade away. This energy condenses justice and morality from people themselves, and cannot rely on hypocrisy or justice and

Obtained by a moral sign.

From this we are not difficult to understand that the so-called great spirit is the righteous spirit, which is the righteous spirit in the world, and it is the righteous spirit that creates a body of righteousness. Mencius believes that if a person has the spiritual power of great spirit forever, it is good to face all the great temptations from the outside world.

Even if you threaten, you can be calm and calm, and reach the state of "unmoved" that Mencius once said, "wealth cannot be lustful, poverty and humbleness cannot be moved, and power cannot be defeated."

There was a long poem about Mencius's righteousness and a vivid literary description of it. This is the "Song of Righteousness" written by Wen Tianxiang, a national hero who is righteous. The poem says: "The heaven and earth have righteousness, and the various forms are mixed and flowing.

.The lower part is the river and the upper part is the sun and the upper part is the sun and stars. It is vast and vast in the human and the moon, and it is vast and vast. … “It means that the great and righteous spirit is contained in various changing bodies in the universe. In nature,

It is the vitality that constitutes the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers; in human society, the world is peaceful and politically clear, it is manifested as a peaceful spirit, and when the country and nation are in a critical moment, it is manifested as a kind-hearted and upright person who is willing to die rather than surrender.

Integrity. Social order can last forever by maintaining it, and morality is the foundation of its origin. He also listed many heroic historical figures in Chinese history, such as Dong Hu, the historian of Jin State who was not afraid of beheading and still kept writing straight; he was loyal and unyielding,

Su Wu, who had been shepherded in the Huns for 19 years, shouted after being captured, "There are only the generals who died in Shu, but Yan Yan, who surrendered; led his troops across the river to fight north, attacked the oath in the middle of the river, and vowed to recover the famous generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who were famous in the Central Plains.

Zu Ti, and Zhuge Liang's "Memorial to the Master" full of loyalty and integrity... etc., as examples, show that the great spirit exists between heaven and earth.

Mencius said, "I am good at cultivating my grand spirit." He also said that this spirit is "most great and strong" and "interlocks between heaven and earth."

We can understand that righteousness is a spirit that is conducive to boosting morale, stimulating vitality, enhancing unity, and condensing reasonable and upward efforts. It is an intangible asset and a spirit.

What can you think of after reading Haoran's righteousness? That's right, it's the human race's fortune. Mencius's Haoran righteousness is a spiritual power that is more sublimated than the human race's fortune. He first cultivated his own moral integrity. Haoran's righteousness comes from

Morality comes from cultivation, and once cultivated, it is a state where all things are not invaded.

Therefore, in ancient times, there was a Confucian saying that Haoran can drive away evil spirits. To practice Haoran, you must first keep your mind. If your mind is firm, you will not be disturbed by the spirit of gods and demons. Until it is achieved, you will reach the state of non-invasion of all things. At that time, you will be able to do so.

It is an existence independent of the nine provinces, and its luck and spirit are integrated to form a righteous and strong spirit.

From then on, I will not be disturbed by luck, and my life will be with me and not with heaven! It can be said that this is a unique method independent of the existing cultivation system, because it does not belong to the martial arts. He practices human spirit and nothing

The threshold is something that everyone can practice.

Not to mention that everyone in Jiuzhou is full of righteousness, even if one-third of them are full of righteousness, you can think of the grand occasion at that time. A great man said that a spark could start a prairie fire. If Qin Emperor Ying Zheng gathered the great righteousness of the world.

Together, with the righteous spirit against the spirit of gods and demons, it may be another history at that time.

Unfortunately, Mencius had long passed away. In the late Warring States period, Xunzi was the person who took the lead in Confucianism. Interestingly, Xunzi also questioned the way of heaven.

He once entered Qin and affirmed the politics of Qin, saying, "There are victories in the four generations of Qin, which is not a blessing." At the same time, he disagreed with the Qin State's strategy of attaching importance to criminal law and administration and despising benevolent scholars and gentlemen, and called it "the county

With the fame and fame of a king, it is not as good as it is."

He once met the imperial teacher of the Bo family. At that time, the imperial teacher of the Bo family hid his identity and pretended to be an old man and discussed the truth about Xunzi. No one knows the specific content.

But then Xunzi translated the "Heaven", "Destiny", and "The Way of Heaven" into natural, objective and regular, "the stars are rotated, the sun and the moon shine, the four eras, the yin and yang are transformed, the wind and rain are used, and all things are obtained by each other

It is harmonious to be born, and each obtains its nourishment to be accomplished. If it does not see its cause, it is called the god; if it is known to be the result, it is not known to be invisible. This is called the heaven.

In Xunzi's view, heaven is nature, without reason, will, good and evil, likes and dislikes. Heaven is natural heaven, not personality god. He calls subtle functions such as yin and yang, wind and rain God, and calls the nature composed of this function the nature composed of this function the

The creation of the universe is not created by God, but the result of the movement of all things themselves.

"There is always the same as heaven's movement"

Xunzi believes that heaven is not mysterious and unpredictable, but has its own unchanging law. This law is not the mysterious way of heaven, but the necessity of nature. It does not rely on the likes and dislikes of the world to change. People cannot violate this.

A rule, but you can only strictly abide by it.
